Seconds after taking off from San Francisco, a United Airlines Boeing 747 shudders violently as one of its engines starts to fail. The intense vibrations terrify the passengers, and are so strong that the pilots have trouble reading their instruments. Within moments, the aircraft is losing altitude and speed. The pilots struggle desperately with the controls as the aircraft veers off course, and heads straight for a mountain. Petrified residents below the flightpath telephone the airport fearing the worst - that a plane is about to crash into their neighbourhood. Will the pilots be able to rescue their stricken aircraft before time runs out? Over 300 lives hang in the balance. This is the story of United Airlines - flight 863.
